AI is making us faster than ever — and at the same time, quietly questioning our place at work.
We’re all feeling it: tools that boost output in minutes, automate entire workflows, and sometimes… do the job better. So where does that leave the human?
This conversation dives straight into that tension — no sugarcoating, no generic optimism. Just real perspectives from people working inside the shift.
Speakers:Nina Borysova, MBA Director, Product Management Technical (PMT), Data Analytics and AI Solutions, Mastercard
Dr. Volodymyr Tkach CEO | Ph.D, Associate Professor | MIT Research Fellow | Cybersecurity, Threat Intelligence, Anomaly Detection, Artificial
We’ll unpack:
– where AI actually boosts productivity vs. where it replaces thinking
– which roles are evolving — and which are quietly disappearing
– how teams are restructuring around AI (and what that means for individuals)
– how to stay valuable when execution becomes automated
– what “creative work” even means when AI can generate ideas on demand
– the psychological side: anxiety, denial, adaptation
If you’re feeling both excited and uneasy about AI — you’re not alone. And you probably shouldn’t ignore either feeling.
Come for clarity. Leave with a more honest map of what’s ahead.
